Inspiration for Chiranjeevi and his party

The backdrop on the dias where Chiranjivi clumsily launched his party had the portraits of Ambedkar,Gandhi,Theresa and Phule. He claimed these august personalities inspired him into public service and eventually launching his political outfit. Good. But this backdrop, his oratarial abilities and the glitches bordering on amateurism gives us an insight into his and his family concern's abilities and intentions.

For a person and a party who/which is destined to be confined to only the Telugu people (may be not all, may be only Kapus and may be only East/West Godacari Districts) he could not find a single Telugu icon giving him inspiration all these years. No Kandukuri Veeresalingam no Durga Bai Deshmukh no Prakasam no Alluri Seeta Rama Raju no Potti Sreeramulu.

Sonia Gandh's reading of Hindi speeches written in English script is better than Chiranjeevi's reading of Telugu speech written in Telugu.

Though he took months to come out with his party to the chargin of his eager fans, he oould not take categorical stand on prime issues like Telengana, Reservations, etc. He left these issues to committees a typical Parkinson solution.

Days after his so-called mega event, he is yet to come out with a manifesto or a list of office bearers or a road map.

His or his spin doctors' penchant for filmy suspense landed them in trouble over his paty name. So much for organisational skill and home work. Visuals in tjhe media show audience madly gesturing . dancing jostling, stampeding - anything but listening.

One of his principal think tank mambers on whom he is publicly seen dependent is one Dr.Mitra whose own performance in his interaction with Techies was a super flop.

One question worth pondering is, whether maintaining a live list of prospective blood donors area-wise, is not a better alternative to blood donation camps where a lot of precious blood is wasted through poor storage facilities and absence of quick uasage. Ofcourse, these camps generate more publicity compared to the quiet utility of individual donations on demand in an emergency.

One assertion is that in these days of quickies, these actors depend so much on dubbing that they can neither remember nor deliver their dialogues convincingly what to talk of ex tempore speeches.

Except that one more caste/sub-regional party has taken birth what else is achieved, only coming times will tell.

There was no harking to Telugu pride, no mention of the sacrifices made by Telugu people for the Telugu land.

Even the inclusion of green colour in the party flag gives indication to the eagerness to pamper muslim votes whatever may be the claims otherwise.

The list can go on. I wish him well. I am not in a hurry to judge him but pointing out only some indicators. His claims of a party with difference are doubtful what with defectors gaining entry. If service through a political party is his aim he could have as well become a foot soldier of Lok Satta Party with its impeccable credentials with a leadership of totally different kind.

People are a patient and intelligent lot. They will wait watch assess and decide. They cannot be taken for a ride all the time. It is time for Chiranjeevi to ponder...
